426 Chapter 426 A visit to Qilin City ([-])
I looked at the formation and thought about what my brother said: "Then what should be in these eight circular spaces? We need to choose two circles from them and put them on the two circles of the Tai Chi plate. We have chosen the right one. The door just opened?"

Zhang Qiling stared at the spinning formation in front of him and said "Yes".

I said: "Choose two of the eight aspects, and I will reveal the things in the eight aspects first."

Xue Feng said: "The surrounding ravines should be blood channels. Use blood to activate them and see."

I nodded and said, "Where to pour it from?"

Zhang Qiling raised his hand and pointed, "Those two Tai Chi circles."

I nodded, and immediately raised my spiritual stone gun. I aimed at the rotating Tai Chi disk and shot it without hesitation. When the psychic blood drops hit the Tai Chi disk, the Tai Chi disk stopped rotating.

Yu Jing handed a blood bottle to my hand. I poured my own psychic energy into it first, then opened the bottle but paused and said, "Pour them in in no particular order."

Bai Hao laughed out loud from behind and said, "What a shame, it's the same old habit."

Yu Jing also laughed softly, and I said: "This is different from the single five elements. This one is much more complicated. Who knows if there will be any consequences if I make a mistake, right?"

Bai Hao said: "What's the difference? Since elementary school, the five elements have been in the order of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Yin and yang naturally come first and then yang."

I still hesitated: "But..."

Xue Feng asked: "What do you want to choose?"

I replied: "First yin and then yang, pour the same amount from both sides to maintain balance."

Xue Feng said: "Nature is chaotic. Yin and Yang are two opposite aspects, and the opposite sides are unified with each other. They can be said to be two phenomena of balance. Many things in the world are neither yin nor yang. The beginning of Yin is nothingness, Yin represents tranquility, motherhood, and nothingness, while Yang represents movement, born from nothingness." After saying that, he looked at me, I nodded to show that I understood, and he said to me: "Yin first Houyang, let’s try it.”

So I poured my spiritual blood into the circle on the Tai Chi plate in the order of first yin and then yang. I poured it into the yin round hole first. After a while, the spiritual blood followed the starting point of the ravine next to it. It began to spread to the totem-like formation lines on the outside, and then I poured the same milliliter of spiritual blood into the hole belonging to Yang. Everyone stepped back and watched the changes in the entire formation.

As the spiritual blood spreads throughout the formation's blood-drawing ravines, the formation lights up with a faint pale golden light, and changes are evident in the eight circular black holes.

Black spheres suddenly emerged from the black hole, and cracks appeared on those spheres. From the cracks, a faint light came out, flashing continuously.

Gradually, the black pieces were peeling off like egg shells being peeled off, revealing light balls of different colors inside. The light balls were rotating, with symbols and words on them.

I looked at one of the red balls and said: "The color represents the five elements, right? The red one is fire. The symbols are one long, two short and one long, which are yang and yin yang. The corresponding is the Li hexagram. The innate is three, the day after tomorrow is nine, and Li The attribute is Yang, Qi Men Dun Jia corresponds to Jing Men, but this is just basic information. There is so much information for one ball, and in the end I only have to choose two. How do I choose..."

Li Yue said: "If there are only two, I think it shouldn't be that complicated. Maybe it's the simplest combination?"

I looked at her and said: "There must be a direction, at least give me a hint, otherwise this thing can evolve into many things, such as astrology and calendar, astronomy and geography, eight gates and nine stars, yin and yang, five elements, three oddities and six rituals, etc." It’s over.”

Bai Hao sighed and said, "Since it was set up by Qilin and Long, it must be related to them. Phoenix, how much do you know about these two seniors?"

Together we looked at Xuefeng, who had been silent all this time. He frowned slightly in thought, but shook his head.

I asked him tentatively: "Brother Xuefeng, this mountain should be the home of dragons and unicorns, right? Since ancient times, people like to use things they can remember when setting passwords, such as birthdays or anniversaries. Think about it. No relevant information?"

Xue Feng said: "I really don't know anything about the two seniors. I only remember Yan'er saying that the password here will be reset as soon as it is opened. After that, the password must be reset. The new password and prompts are just to allow the city lord to Can decipher the content.”

I thought in my heart that there was something about Master Ziyu Palace here, but Brother Xue Feng never allowed me to participate in matters related to Zi Yan, but I still asked him and said, "Then Zi Yan said he never said anything about the new password. What's the matter?"

Xue Feng still frowned and said: "This..."

I looked at Xuefeng intently. Xuefeng could naturally see that his sister Xiaoxun was looking at him expectantly, hoping that he could tell me something. However, he was very entangled in his heart and said nothing.

Seeing this, Li Yue hurriedly said: "Yan'er told him at least a thousand years ago. He probably can't remember it. Let your brother Xuefeng think about it for a while." Bai Hao walked to Xuefeng and put his arm on his shoulder. He said: "It's okay, don't worry, I'm not here. You guys will wait a moment. I'll help him think about it." After saying that, he pulled Xue Feng away and started whispering to the side.

I thought that Brother Bai Hao was in charge of memory anyway, so I could only leave it to him in this situation. With him helping Brother Xuefeng dig up his memory, he should be able to remember it, but the way I looked at Brother Xuefeng, It felt like I couldn't hear what I wanted to hear from him.

So I started to think about it myself, but I didn’t recognize Ziyan either. I only knew some scattered fragments about her. I didn’t know her well. How could I know what kind of hints she would leave behind? But at the end of the day I heard that we are very similar, but I don’t know what aspect I am talking about. If I am talking about similar ideas, then if I were to change my password, what would I change it to?

I thought for a while and then asked: "Brother, this ball has the Five Elements, the Bagua, and the Eight Gates of Qimen Dunjia. These information are clearly marked, and secretly there are the numbers of the Eight Diagrams. Are there any other commonly used ones?"

Zhang Qiling did not answer immediately. He was stunned for a moment and said: "The five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other."

I said "Oh" thoughtfully and thought about it, and then said it unconsciously: "Tai Chi is used to seal the door. Tai Chi divides yin and yang. A round hole means yin within yang and yang within yin. The ball will naturally be The choice is one yin and one yang.

When it comes to Qimen Dunjia, the first thing that comes to mind is the Shengmen. If you choose Gen from the Shengmen, the five elements are earth attributes, and the Bagua belongs to Yin. If you put it in the Yang hole, you have to choose one from the Yang hole and put it in the Yin hole. In the cave, there are four yin and four yang, what will be Zi Yan's clue? "

Just when I was thinking wildly, I heard Bai Hao call: "Xiao Qiling, come here."

I looked at them. Brother Xuefeng was still very silent, which was in sharp contrast to the playful and smiling brother Bai Hao. Bai Hao was waving towards his brother to signal him to come over.

My brother didn't even stumble, he immediately left me and walked towards them, and my eyes naturally followed them.

I saw the three grown men gathering together mysteriously. Brother Xuefeng said a few words, and then Brother Bai Hao kept muttering. But it didn't last long, and it didn't take a while. They walked back together, and the elder brother walked directly to the Tai Chi plate without hesitation.

As he stood still, he stretched out his long fingers towards a golden ball. His hands blocked the words displayed on the golden ball, but the color of the ball told me that it was either a red ball or a dry ball.

I saw him pinch out the yang attribute ball, put his hand back into the yin attribute hole of the Tai Chi plate, and then use his long fingers to clamp a light golden ball out. It was a kind of closeness. The golden color of the earth is an earth attribute ball, so it is either Kun or Gen, both are Yin attribute balls. One of Qimen Dunjia is the door of life and the other is the door of death.

The two balls my brother chose were one yin and one yang, one earth and one metal. The yin and yang are balanced and the five elements are in harmony. It feels right.

Both balls were pressed into the Tai Chi disk by my brother, and he returned to my side. The Tai Chi disk also started to rotate again. We faced it, and it gradually rotated and returned to the direction of left yin and right yang. Following the Tai Chi The two balls on the disk also rotated, as if to make the patterns and words on them right.

However, I didn't have a chance to see which one was stuffed in. The ball was sucked in with a "click" as if it was swallowed by the two holes.

Immediately afterwards, the arc ravine in the middle of the Tai Chi plate gradually cracked, and the cracks became larger and larger, opening a passage like an automatic double door.

It was very dark in the cave, and it seemed that there was still a long way to go. I looked left and right, watching their reactions. They quickly reached a consensus. My brother took my arm, and it was still Xue Feng Bai Hao. At the beginning, my brother and I walked in the middle, followed by Li Yue and Yu Jing.

First, there is a long passage made of rock walls. It is a naturally formed passage between cliffs. The ground is very flat and it is not difficult to walk. However, the echo in the cave is very heavy, there is the sound of dripping water, and there are some noises from time to time. The sound of "pop, pop, pop" made the cave feel extremely cold. I don't know why, but I always felt like there was something in front of me.

As we walked, the road ahead became much wider, and it became wet under our feet. There were large pools of water on the ground, and trickling water along the rock walls. There seemed to be more "pop, pop, pop" sounds. Some, and occasionally there is a "squeaking" sound like a mouse.

Xuefeng and Bai Hao suddenly stopped. Xuefeng waved his hand and let my moon lantern shine towards the top of the cave.

I raised my head and looked up. The ceiling of the cave was not too high. When I looked up, I saw a big crack on the top. I followed the light and looked over. What I saw was a figure that made me a little scared. picture.

I saw everything in front of my eyes. It was dark and dense, and something was hanging in groups on the roof of the cave. From time to time, there would be a few flapping their big black wings, circling in the cave. They were a group of thousands of bats. Although it is quite normal for this thing to appear in such a cold and damp cave, I didn't expect there to be such a large group.

We had an eye on the road ahead, lowered our voices, and quietly walked through the bats. The roof of the cave was not flat. Some places were high and some were low. In the low places, we had to duck to avoid the bats.

As I walked, my legs kept trembling. I had never seen a bat so close before. The closest ones were less than half a meter away from me. They were all sleeping, with their two little feet clinging to the cracks in the rocks, and their slender calves were stretched. Very long, huge wings curled around their bodies, with downy bodies, long pointed beaks, and small noses. They have closed eyes and a pair of big ears on their small round heads. They really look like mice.

During the march, a few little guys around you will suddenly open their bright pea eyes and grin at you. Their teeth are very sharp, as if to say, "You disturbed me. Believe it or not, I'll bite you." .”

We walked through the bat area nervously, but we still didn't dare to make too much noise. We passed a cave entrance and entered a large cave. However, this cave had an obvious entrance that let in the sunlight from outside. It was obvious that This is the direction we continue to go.
